Wow if ETL's are only breaking $500-$2,000 in bonuses (that i guess seems a little low from what a regular bonus would be even for annually). At my work, employees get monthly bonuses depending on various metrics. Bonus-wise i would be confident in saying that a employee at my workplace makes...

Commie i have family who celebrate Hanukkah, but your post reminded me of Kyle's song from one of the first South Park Christmas episodes called "A Jew On Christmas"

I saw the newest Target Christmas (Holiday) advertisement on TV, but its not even November yet!!!!!!! I can see it now though. Come to Target , doorbusters starting at 10pm Thanksgiving day. Ummmmm I think I speak for all current TM's (though I am a former TM) when I say HELL NO!

Congratulations, it always feels good when you know you have worked hard in order to get out of retail into a job where you actually want to/wouldn't mind coming into every day, plus hey if this job is full time w/benefits can't complain there

Keep dreaming, I tried going the extra mile (or as Target would like to say going the extra inch) in my daily duties but I would only get either a soda or a candy bar here and there. If you asked them for a bonus they would probably say "oh you're so funny, TM's don't get bonuses, we know you...

I will admit when I started this thread, I did lack to mention a few good things that I did take away from my time at Target. It wasn't all that bad, probably much of my bitterness was spending much time in that cold ass freezer lol. But here are the things I took away from Target: 1...

It has been 3 months since I have left Target and so I thought I would revisit where I was and where I am now. So I thought the best way to do this would be to do a comparison the best present the difference. Before doing so I will say that I have only been past my old store twice in the last 3...

Looks Like I left at the right amount of time. I get incentives now not GTC's (or going extra inch) cards anymore. But then again being the backroom we were hardly ever given GTC's. Sad thing is we would ever now and again write them for each other lol. But I will take my incentives any day over...

I know how to use one, when I looked up Target, it said "see unnecessary" :)

I can relate allinone. I work at a call center too, but for a different company. There are certain circumstances in which you can release a call (but those a very few exceptions to the rule). And I have had a couple people curse me out, so it does take a thick skin, but if the situation calls...

Well said commiecorvus, well said. I used to believe in the whole work/life balance when I worked at Target but after about a year of working for Spot, I learned that it was all complete b.s.! Some nights I felt as if my ETL was saying "you can have a life once all the backstock is done", but...

Its been a while since I have heard anything from the "shops" at Target. It seems that since I have been in a Target since leaving the company, that the shops at Target are nowhere to be found (or maybe I am just not looking hard enough). I remember one in particular because it was an endcap...

As Lewis black said in one of his bits "Thanksgiving doesn't seem to be celebrated, we go straight from halloween to Christmas. In the olden days, or at least when I was a child, Thanksgiving was a time for family to get together and pass out from either overeating or drinking. However, nobody...

When I had worked at Target, my ETL-LOG never closed, latest he would stay would be about 5 pm

Gosh, we didn't even have cable when I worked at Target or even rabbit ears, just a tv with a dvd player that played the same dvd's over and over again. Now when I am on break, I can go into the break room with some nice couches and flip on some HBO or some Comedy Central, depends on how I'm...
